State's voting machines to get court challenge

A coalition of voter groups will have a legal challenge heard today in a Fulton County courtroom. Voter Georgia wants to get rid of electronic voting machines in the state, saying the lack of a verifiable paper trail is illegal and unconstitutional. Georgia started using the machines in 2002, becoming the first in the nation to implement that type of system statewide. A record number of people are expected to flock to the polls for the general election now less than two months away.
